think there will be some news in the next week, maybe stranger III


looks like September is going to be the next release date if you look in the forum.

Surround sound remixes from Pete Namlook.


Ok...well firstly they are in DTS format, so not everyone can play them (myself included)...reports are very good, 'if' you have the right equipment I hear. Pete does a completely different mix (well...he would, wouldn't he? :)). Not many fans of TD seem to listen to Pete or the Fax label (or at least not the small minority that post on forums) and the number of Namlook fans that listen to the DTS mixes is even smaller.

As for value for money...'Don't like it, don't buy it'

It is a shame that Pete is so stubbon when it comes to DTS. I have seen very few fans in favour of these releases(well the ones that post anyway). I guess financally it must make sense for him or he would scrap doing it.

I dont think it will ever be widely used by listeners but Pete seems to think if you listen to FAX in stereo your not getting the full FAX experience.

I wish I knew someone who had DTS so I could take one of these unused CDs round to listen.

Drop me a line Matt. I would love to hear one of these on my system.

AW is 'the' FAX re-issue label mate, so as all of the music was originally released before (albeit not in remixed form) it went on the AW label

oh ok, didnt really know that. the albums that get re-released on AW are they any different I mean in perticuler Dreamfish and Fires Of Ork? I have the AW dreamfish as the FAX one is impossible to get, is it the same except for the awful cover?

As far as I know Matt, no...they're nearly as good, bar a couple of recent ones that have been remastered.
I also have the UK issue of DF and it seems the same to me
